AV ° T eljt TY StIAT LONDON, THURSDAY, JAN. 21, 1864 It is hal idly to be credited that truth can really be at the heart of the rumour now afloat to the effect that Denmark, at the eleventh hour, has so far conceded as to have volunteered a pacific proposi Lion. Hardly, we repeat, is this amazing report seri cusly to be credited. Dire thcugh would be the calamity of war to any kingdom, direr still to it would be the loss of its honour. " All is lost," said one of the most chivalrous of European Sovereign; - upon the morrow of a disastrous defeat, "All is Jost—saving Honour." The very reason for Xing CIIII.ISTIAN'S occupancy of the throne of Den mark is the belief among the Danes that he, at least, among the princely race he represents, might be implicitly confided in as the Champion, the u , 4- flinching and indomitable Champion of the dis puted rights of Denmark in respect to the won derfully difficult and complicated problem in regard to the twin Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. It appears to us a thing in credible, therefore, that at the very first .critical juncture in reference to that matter of Schleswig-Holstein, King CHRISTIAN, of all men should evince any disposition whatever to yield . . His yielding now would be most flagrantly yielding to open intimidation. It is a thing, there fore, we be lieve, hardly to be thought of—we will not say as a probability, but even as a possibility. The na tional pride of the Danes for that matter is not to be thus :lightly outraged. But beyond that the pride,of the whole of the great Scandinavian races may be described as intimately involved or impli cated in the solution of the problem, the dispute in regard to which has just now brought Danmark, on the one band, Germany on the other, if not as yet, into open collision—at any rate, face to face with eac h other, arms in hand! The rumour, however, is so ugly in its way, that we turn, with a profound solicitude for the honour, not only of a King, but of a Nation, to the very latest tidings flashed to us by telegrap s, to the very latest tidin gs calculated in anv manner to throw light upon the more im- Strictly in accerd ance with minent probabil ities. known in respect t o the a ll that was previo usl y feelings cherished in this matter by the Danish Parliament and the Danish Administration is the intimation transmitted, under date Last evening, froth Copenhagen, to the effect that in the debate which had just then taken place in the Volksthing of the Rigsdag, all the different parties in the As sembly had unanimously and formally declared that the sole pledge of the independence of Denmark at his moment is the unconditional adherence of the Leg islature, the Government, the People, and the Soc ereign to the Constitution of the 18th of vember_ Immediately after which most solemn aad perfectly c omprehensible declaration, it is b asely probable, it is barely possible, that the n awly-enthroned KING, who is King expressly, as b efore intimated, as the selected Champion c f the disputed Rights of Denmark, in respect to Schleswig-HolstrAn—that this chosen vindicator of the rights of Denmark should actually inaugurate his reign as Sovereign of the Danes by arresting the hostile advance against him of the Prussian and Austrian troops, not by crossing swords with them or fixing bayonets along the line of his own troops of defence, but —by meekly proffering at the last moment a conciliatory proposal. No ! as the Flyveposten of yesterday tersely and emphatically put it—" in the reply of the Government to the Austrian and Prus sian ultimatum it should be distinctly de clared that Denmark will not tolerate the occu pation of Schleswig by those Powers, but that she would repel by force of arms such an hostile act as a decided breach of international law.'' No !—again we say it—the rumour, as it comes to us now at least, vaguely e,nd dimly, is hardly to bo credited. Alea jacta est. Yielding, is scarcely to be meditated without infamy, i s at this crisis in her history, on the part of Dr.mmark, assuredly not to be effected without a profound na onal abasement. If war, therefore, still is inevitable for ;he Danes, at all events, they are preparing hemselves for the emergency with spirit an d sympathy. The banquet lately given by King CHRISTIAN to the members of the Rigsdag evinces a feeling of goodwill, and affords a happy proof of the unity that reigns in the land The President of the Lower House made a most admirable speech in proposing his MAJESTY'S health, and it cannot be too much commended, being at the present juncture a very suitable ex pression of opinion. He began by alluding to the fficult and dangerous times in which the KING had assumed his power. Yet he did not allow that there was no prospect of a safe outlet to these troubles. On the contrary, in earnest and emphatic words, he told his hearers of the intrinsic resources that were in the country, owing to the free and independent spirit of the people. This is the true way to meet the emergency, and it is the right means to adopt to defend the country, to fall back upon the native daring and indomitable resolution of the people. This is the sure stronghold of the Danes, and, relying on this defence, they may defy the most irascible of their foes and keep at bay their most powerful armies. There is no surer gua- rantee for the stability of an army than its ranks being filled by men of goodwill and earnestness. What a contrast does the Danish army assembled at the old Danneoorke present to the forced troops that are taken from Poland to swell the hosts of their oppressors. The vital breath, the native air are wanting in such an assembly. How different to the thrilling eagerness with which the indepen dent sons of war rush to the contest and stand firm in the defence of their Fatherland. Well did the President put the case when he declared that privations, sacrifices, and hardships were as nothing in comparison with the principle that informed and the idea that actuated them, " that they were in arms for the right of his MAJESTY and the nation." It is, indeed, most sincerely to be trusted that there will be no present occasion and no immediate necessity to give an instance cf the spirit of the army of King CHRISTIAN ; but if it should unfortunately turn out to be so, it may be relied on that the enemies, wherever and whoever they may be, will not find their task of conquest so easy as they may imagine in the in tolerance of their pride and the might of their assumption. The President concluded with fitting allusions to the exalted destinies which the two eldest children of the Royal House had been called upon to assume, truly saying that the foreign lands to which they had gone received them " as the hope of the future. The mention of the hope that ani mated the - whole Danish people was the desire that is the best one which well-wishers can utter for those who are placed in arduous situations at critical junctures,—namely, that Providence might give the KING strength to meet the shocks of for tune." The conviction of a right cause, and the knowledge that the issues at stake are important in the extreme, and may influence the destinies of after generations, caa often inspire a zeal and kindle an ardour in the minds of those on whom devolve the responsibility of guiding the helm of a State at critical times, and swaying the passions of others who, excited and violated, are not in a fitting state to command, or in a right spirit to obey. So far as appearances exhibit, King CHRISTIAN seems to possess the right feeling to impress those under his rule, and to in fluence them in the way they should go, while his own instinetive perception of the exigencies of the case will serve him in good stead, and add addi tional confidence to all with whom he comes in contact. VOLTAIRE'S description o HENRY at the head of the two armies aptly designates the secret of success in a commander, En gagnant tousles cceurs, it les a tous unis. King CHRISTIAN appears to possess this faculty to a great extent, and it is to be hoped that its exercise will lead to a happy issue. The at tempted palliation that has been offered of the hasty and unseemly exit of the ambassadors from Copen hagen does nothing in reality to allay the alarm that has been unnecessarily excited. On the con trary, it seems but a subterfuge to put people off their guard. This impertinent interference on the part of these two Powers suggests the idea that the policy of reciprocation might be tried with advan tage. Let Earl RUSSELL recall our ambassadors from Vienna and Berlin until such time as the un fair demands and unwarrantable attitude of the Germanic Confederation shall cease, and it woo' soon be seen that these wise and upright judges would reconsider their decisions. It would be a positive relief to witness same decisive step of this sort taken, and to have the satisfaction of beholding the might and majesty of our country in the ascen dant, warning the tyrant and encroacher not to proceed too far, and to take heed lest the thunders of our avenging wrath hurl 'destruction on their path. If our Cabinet do not wish to stultify them selves as statesmen, and to abrogate the right of our country to interfere for the protection of allied States, they must bestir themselves, and act with vigilance, care, and promptitude. It is idle to con ceal any longer the fact that an occasion has at last arisen for the display of energy, and the evidence of soma definite opinion. The doctrine of non-inter vention has been carried out ad nauseam in the American affairs, and in many minor instances signs of laxity have been exhibited, which are alike unworthy of the position of the country, and fatal t,o the interests of those connected with it as allies. Sometimes a serious event or an important crisis will arouse the tardy action, and stimulate the lethargic tendency, and it is to be trusted that the THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1864. present may be one of the occasions, for everything confirms the fears of those who foresaw from the first that no trifling danger was impending. The elections which have recently taken place in ,he Confederate States of America have given occa- sion to a very decided expression of the general feeling. Sufficient time has now elapsed since the first outbreak of hostilities to submit the endur ance of the people of the South to a pretty severe test. It was easy to talk of independence and patriotism when words were the only weapons, and resistance to Federal encroachments entailed only verbal sacrifices. But to persevere in the course they have chosen, in the face of all the loss entailed by the blockade, of the desolation of their fertile coun- ry, of the spoliation of their luxurious homes, and ,he voluntary abandonment of ease and leisure ; o preserve their ardour, unabated by disaster and discouragement, by the blood of thousands of their citizens and the veil of mourning thrown over countless happy homes; to accept cheerfully per sonal sacrifice and national burdens, trusting not to the doubtful sympathy of foreigners but to their own internal resources, with faith undimmed by misfortune and courage unabated by difficulties — to do all this as the people of the Southern States have done, proves that the Confederation is some thing more than a name, and that Southern inde pendence is an accomplished reality. Hencefor ward, were their subjugation possible, it must be as a conquered State, not as a crushed rebellion. The Union, about whose preservation the Federals declaim so loudly, is no longer in existence. It is numbered among the things of the past, as surely as that older system whose last remnants expired with the Treaty of Independence, and the attempt to force the dominion of the Northern people on the South is wellnigh as hopeless as the struggle to re-establish the authority of the mother country over WASHINGTON and his contempo raries. The Federals, bent on their headlong course, refuse to recognise the strength and invete racy of the Southern feeling towards them. Greenbacks are plentiful, and speculators and capitalists are reaping golden harvests from the national misfortune. Trade is flourishing in New York, and the commissariat supplies and a thousand other fresh sources of profit make ample, though temporary,amerds for the loss of the old traffic with the South. Not yet have their professions been put to so stern a test as the principles of their antago nists; not yet have their preachers and orators had to support the platitudes of the pulpit or the plat form in besieged towns, in ravaged states, in want of the common necessaries alike of war and peace. Mr. BEECHER might weigh his words a little more if they entailed six months under the care of a Southern General BUTLER, if the Confederate ranks could furnish such a parallel. New York might be a little less eager for the maintenance of the Union if it entailed the adoption of a resolution like that just passed unanimously by the Upper Chamber of the Senate of Georgia, which orders that every able bodied male citizen, from fifteen to twenty years old and upwards, be immediately enrolled, supplied with arms, and sent to actual service for the defence of the State. This is but a sample of the spirit that breathes through every public address made by the leaders of the Confederacy. The Governor of Georgia, in his message to the Legislature charges the people of that State by the recollection of their sufferings in the past, and the degradation which awaits them in the future should they be subjugated, to lay aside all past differences and personal con siderations, and to gather rnund the altar of their country. " While we evidently desire peace on honourable terms, let us hero again renew the solemn pledge to each other, that, come life or death, come weal or woe, we will never sheathe the sword till constitutional liberty is established, Georgia is free, and these Confederate States are recognised by all the world as an independent Power." This appeal was readily responded to by the Legislature, the Senate passing a resolution confirming the secession of the State, and bath Houses conjointly declaring their determination to persevere with the war until the great object was gained. Still stronger was the language of Mr. HOSCUEL JOHN STONE, who has been fitly selected as one of the representatives of the State of Georgia in the Senate of the Confederate States. There was, he declared, no step backward ; and reminded his hearers that it has never been recorded in history that 8,000,000 of united people resolved to be free have failed. " We cannot," ho added, in words of impassioned earnestness, "we cannot yield if we would. Yield to the Federal authorities—to vassalage and subju• gation ! The bleaching bones of 100,000 gallant soldiers slain in battle would be clothed in tongues of fire to curse to everlasting infamy the man that whispered,.' Yield 1 " In North and South Caro lina the messages of the governors show not the faintest sign of hesitation or of regret. Every where we find the same sentiments, briefly epito mised by Governor BONHAM, of South Carolina, when he says that the people " have counted the cost, and have determined on independence or anni hilation." A proof of the inflexib,lity of the Southern resolution stands unmistakeably before the Northern gaze in the battered walls of Fort Sumter. Into that dauntless little fort nearly 30,000 shot have been poured, until the very means of attack are converted into purposes of defence. The long-talked of assault, which was to display all the resources of Northern naval power, only resulted in the utter discomfiture of the assailants, The Keokuk lies under the waters of Charleston harbour, while more than one of the boasted Moni tors had cause to rue the steady fire or the Confe derate guns. Bat though the sun has risen and set nearly 2,0'0 times since the siege was undertaken, his beams still light up Fort Sumter—a mass of ruins, it is true, hat ruins with the Confederate fl floating dauntlessly above them. It is truly, as has been said, a moral rather than a material triumph. The fort, though comparatively value less as a fortress, stands as an enduring testimony to the skill and daring of the Confederates. It is a fit type of the cause, which may be ruined, but Iwill never be abandoned. d LATEST INTELLIGENCE. LREUTER'S TELEGRAM.] KIEL, JAN. 21. The Saxon battalion stationed here has suddenly received marching orders. It will leave to• day for Nordtorf, and advance to-morrow to Hohenwestedt in the north-west of Holstein, where the Saxon brigade will be concentrated. The Austrian troops are expected to arrive here AMERICA. NEUTER'S TELEGRAM ,Per the City of Manchester, via Roche's Point, Jan. 21, 12 35 a.m.) NE W YORK, DEC. 9. There is no important news from General Meade's army. A detachment of Confederate cavalry drove in the Federal pickets at Flint Hill, near Fairfax Court-louse, on the night of the sth inst., but re treated after exchanging a few shots with the skir mishers sent out to meet them. Many of the veteran troops are re-enlisting for the war, and the condition of the army is said to be,excellent. Con federate deserters report that many of Lee's troops would gladly avail themselves of Mr. Lincoln's amnesty if they had the opportunity. A trade agent has been appointed to sell to the destitute population within the Union lines provisions, cloth ing, and other necessaries of life. Despatches from Cumberland, Maryland, state that the Confederates in West Virginia are very active. The garrison at Petersburg was surrounded yesterday by the Confederates, who have driven the Federals out of Burlington. Cumberland, Md., is threatened with immediate attack by Fitzhugh Lee and Rosser. The passenger trains on the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad have been stopped, and great excitement prevails. The Confederates are report:d to be moving in three columns. They captured a train of 36 waggons yesterday. General Imboden has been attacked at Winchester and driven back. A heavy snow storm prevailed. Coles' Maryland Cavalry encountered a large force of Confederates near Rectortown, Va., re cently, and lost 57 out of 75 men, A despatch, dated Cumberland Gap, Jan. 6th, announce that an overwhelming force of Confede rates, estimated at 4,000, under General Samuel Jones, made a descent upon the Federal troops, numbering about 300, at Jonesboro', Va. The Federals, who were guarding a region, which was the main reliance for forage for the Union troops in that department, made a desperate resistance, but finally surrendered, after losing 60 men in killed and wounded. Latest advices from Chattanooga disclose no im portant events in that region. The weather had been very severe, and several soldiers had been frozen to death at Bridgeport. Many of the troops were re-enlisting for the war. The Confederate lines were 35 miles from Chattanooga. General Joe Johnson was reporting to be making every exer tion for increasing the number and efficiency of his troops. The Confederates are making great efforts to complete the railroad from Greenborough to Dan ville, Virginia, in order that they may have by spring a double means of communication between Richmond and the gulf States. There is nothing definite from Knoxville or Longstreet's army. Latest accounts represent Longstreet's position to . oe "stubborn and strong," as he had open communication with Virginia cud North CAroline, and was believed to be receiving reinforcements. The rebel Generals Marmaduke and Price, with about 6,000 men, mostly cavalry, were near Arka delphia, Arkansas, on the 23d of December. Union sentiment in Arkansas is said to be rapidly in- creasing. Advices from texas disclose acme stirring events 'a that region. The rebel General Magruder is said to be very unpopular on account of the severity of his rule. He issued an order to burn the towns of Indianola and Lavacca, lest they should fall into the hands of the Federals, the inhabitants not only refused to obey the order, but are said to have orgy • nised to resist it. Refugees were continually coming into Baronsville. All citizens who have remained there have had the oath of allegiance administered to them. These who refuse to take it are sent across the Rio Grande into Mexico. It i 6 reported that the rebels are concentrating all their available forces in Western Texas, at San Antonio, and Austin. The minute men have been ordered by General Magruder to report at those points. It is said that the rebels have a small gunboat in Lavacca Bay, but nothing has been seen of it yet. General Banks will probably not move into the interior of the State until he received such additions to his present inadequate force as will insure success. At all events there will be no active operations on his part until the secret expedition which left New Orleans on December 30 is heard from. Governor Bramlette, of Kentucky, has issued orders that five rebel sympathisers shall be arrested for every loyal citizen carried off by rebel guerillas. The rebels have been for some time past clucen trating near Jackson, Tennessee, under Generals Forrest, Roddy, and Chalmers, It is believed this force now numbers from 20,000 to 25,000 men, and that they purpose making a dash upon Paducah, Kentucky, Columbus, or perhaps Memphis. Gen. Grant is fully informed as to the contemplated movement, and is amply prepared to guard against disaster. _ . Advices from New Orleans to January 1 have been received. A mass meeting of loyal citizens was called fur the Bth January, the object being to consider the formation of a Free State Government. Nearly enough have been enrolled to enable the State to return to the Union under President Lin coln's proclamation. A secret expedition left New Orleans on Deuember 30, the strength and destina tion of which had been successfully disguised from the public. It is believed, however, that it is in tended to operate against Mobile. An entrenched camp will probably be formed at Pascagoula, and an advance from thence against Mobilo as soon as the rainy season is over. A line of signal stations is to be established along the Mississippi to assist in preventing the depreda tions of the rebel guerillas. General Kirby Smith now commands the entire rebel force west of the Mississippi, and is said to be organising a force of 1,500 for an attack upon Little Rock, Arkansas. In the Senate Wilson, of Massachusetts, intro• duced a resolution to expel M. Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, for alleged treasonable sentiments con tained in his resolution relative to prohibiting military officers from interfering with elections. No vote was taken on the subject. A petition was pre sented by the Society of Friends, asking exemption from the draft. M. Howe, of Wisconsin, offered a reso lution, requesting the P r esident to call ou t one million of volunteers for litary Committee. n inety clay 3, to terminatA reso e the war ; referred to Mi lution was offered by Senator Movill, of Vermont, requesting the President to notify to the British Government the desire of the United Sttes to ter minate the Reciprocity Treaty with Ca a nada ; re ferred to committee on foreign relations. In the House of Representatives the joint unlit. tion to eaten 3 the psyment of bounties to volunteers from the sth of February to Ist of March was adopted. After a short executive session in the Senate, both houses adjourned until January 11. The Washington correspondent of the New York World states that the official reports place the Union losses in killed and wounded at Chancellors ville at 28,000 men. A Mr. Palmer, secretary to the collector of the port of New York, has been arrested and sent to THACKERAYANL MR, THACKERAY'S POSTHUMOUS WORK, which was a modern one, was not intended to b 3 a regular three volume novel, but merely a brisk, stirring story, occupying the usual space in about eight numbers of the Corn kill, and concluding within these limits. It is said that matter for about four numbers was written ere the mighty hand grow cold in death, so that something more is loft to ua than a mere fragment ; also that among Thackeray's papers there is much which will hear publication, many hitherto unpublished trifl es o f a very early date, wh i c h w i ll b e rea d with deep interest, as well as matter of more recent com position. lII'S FEAT OF P ENNIANSUIP.—The late Mr. Thackeray was an accomplished penman, and used to pride himself on the neatness and dexterity with which he could cram the greatest possible number of words into the smallest possible space. A few weeks before his death ho was present at the usual Saturday dinner, at which the contributors to Punch are accustomed to meet and arrange the programme for the next week's number. The conversation turning upon Mr. Thackeray's skill in this way, h a was c h a ll enge d illustration, wher eupon he produced a four and having mark e d t h e circle of the coin PtwocinthgniYva-ePpiaecnne°o' n a piece of paper, he d rew i n the centre a cro wn, and filled up the remaining space with the Lord's Prayer, which he transcribed without a single contraction except in the case of the w ord " which," spelling it L°wh.

Of the 17 million thalers voted by the Federal Diet upon the 14th ult. to meet the costs of Federal execution, 5 millions have been already expended. Another instalment of 4 millions is upon the point of being paid. FRANKFORT, JAN. 21. The report of Herr von der Pfordten upon the succession question i❑ Schleswig-Holstein is not yet ready but will be completed in five days. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, SAN. 21. The Austrian troops destined for service in Schles wig commenced their march yesterday. It is believed that the Austrian and Prussian Ambassadors quitted Copenhagen at the same time. The official Ministerial explanation in the Con ference of the Finance Committee of the policy pur sued by the Great German Powers relative to Schleswig, appears to have been so far satisfactory that the conflict apprehended between the Govern ment and the Lower House is not to be expected. A strong intermediate party having been formed, the credit demanded by the Government is not likely to be refused. The documents laid by Count Rechberg befor e the Finance Committee of the Lower House, in cluded the Protocols of the Federal Diet, the in structions of the diet to the Federal Commissioners in Holstein, and an authentic copy of the stipula tions of the treaties of 1851 and 1852. Count Rechberg further stated that the cc-opera- tion of Austria with Prussia was based upon formal State treaties, and in the Schleswig-Holstein question specially upon a military convention. SWEDEN AND NORWAY. EXTRAORDINARY SESSION OF THE ST ORTHING. CHRIS fIANA, JAN. 21. A Royal proclamation has been issued convening an extraordinary session of the Norwegian Storthing for the 14th March. COPENHAGEN, JAN. 20 (Evening). The first debate on the address in the Volksthing of the Rigsdag took place to-day. The different parties declared that an unconditional adherence to the constitution of the 18th November is a pledge of the independence of Denmark. The Flyreposten of to-day says :—" In the reply of the Government to the Austrian and Prussian ultimatums, it should be distinctly declared, that Denmark will not tolerate the occupation of Schles wig by those Powers, but that she would repel by force of arms such an hostile act as a decided breach of international law." The weather has be come milder, the thermometer now being at freez • ing point. SPAIN.

The reaction in the stock market continued yes terday morning, and the excitement created thereby had very much the appearance of a panic. Prices receded from one to five per cent, on nearly all the leading railroad shares. Government Stocks were dull, and were forced to submit to a slight decline, the Five-twenties being quoted 101 Z to 1011. The market became a little more settled in the afternoon, and the sales at the last board showed a slight im provement. The money market was active, and the supply was hardly equal to the demand, but the difference was not sufficient to cause any change in the rate of interest. Gold was dull at 1511 to 152. Though there was no special activity in business circles yesterday a good business was transacted in most of the leading articles, and the markets were generally buoyant and firm. At. the Produce Ex change the chief feature was the very active export demand for wheat, the day's sales being the largest of the season, amounting to 240,000 bushels. Prices were higher. Groceries were rather firmer, in sympathy with the rise in gold. Cotton was easier. Petroleum was lower ; but rather more active_ Freights were active and higher, owing to the large 1 sales of wheat. EPROM TILE TIMES CORRESPONDENT .I NEW YORK, JAN. 9, 11 RM. The conflicting accounts of the intentions of the Confederates in the Shenandoah Valley have been set at rest by the commencement of a northward movement in three columns by that force. Peters- burg, Virginia, was surrendered yesterday. Gene rals Fitzhugh Lee and Rosser are moving upon New Creek. The Federals were driven out of Burlington yesterday, and it is feared Camberland, in Mary land, will be attacked to-day. The Confederates have captured a Federal train of 36 waggons. The Confederate General Imboden was attacked at Winchester, and his advance checked, yester- day. It is announced that the Federal force captured at Joinsville, Virginia, on the 3d, guarded a dis- trict upon which the Federal troops at Cumberland Gap chiefly relied for forage. In addition to the prisoners, the Fedetals lost 60 men killed and wounded. Another secret expedition left New Orleans on the 30th. Its destination was believed to be Mobile. The .Richmond Examine 7 of the 31st December, in concluding a review of the military and financial situation of the Confederacy, says : " We all know that we have a heavy score to pay off. This may depress ns, but our enemies need not be jubilant at that depression, for we are deter mined to meet our liabilities. Whatever number of men, or whatever amount of money shall be really needed, will be f3rthcoming. Whatever economy the straitening of our resources may require we shall learn to exercise." The accounts of recently released Confederate prisoners of their treat ment at Point Lookout, pub lished in the Richmond journals, show the practice of the greatest barbarity by the Federals:— " Murder was not only not scrupled at, but op portunities sought for its commission by the guard, who were known to have been offered 10 dols. and 15 dols. apiece for every fractious' prisoner they could ' consistently shoot in the discharge of their duty.' The rations of the prisoners per day con sisted of five hard biscuits, with a piece of meat the size of a shrimp." The State of Georgia is reorganising its Militia, under the provisions of a recent Act of its Legisla- tare. All white male citizens between the ages of 16 and 60 years are called into the service, and are divided into two classes. Those between 17 and 50 years are considered the Militia proper ; the re mainder are held as a I\lilitia reserve. The Provincial Government of Nova Scotia placed the Chesapeake in Admiralty on the ith, and a hearing of the case will be had to-morrow. In the Senate on Thursday, Mr. Howe, of Wis consin, offered a resolution which was referred to the Military Committee, requesting the President to call out 1,000,000 men for ninety days, to be led by Gen. Grant against Richmond, the capture of that city, and the libaration of the Federal prisoners there. Senator Morrill offered a resolution yesterday requesting Mr. Lincoln to notify the British Go vernment of the desire of the Federal Government to terminate the Reciprocity Treaty. It was re • ferred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. A resolution by Mr. Baldwin, of Massachusetts, to reject without hesitation or delay any and every proposition for peace that may be made by the Southern authorities, was adopted in the House of Representatives on Thursday. Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, submitted a proposition to readmit to the Union the seceded States with their original Con stitutions whenever the people of those States might make application. It was laid on the table. In the same body the resolution by Mr, Myers, of Pennsylvania, to prosecute the war until the Con federates were conquered into a love for the Union, and when that was accomplished to hang every leading man in the Confederacy, was referred to the Committee in the Reconstruction of States. Albert H. Palmer, secretary to the Collector of Customs of the port of New York, and also the secretary of the Union Central Committee, have been sent to Fort Lafayette, charged with com plicity in the shipment of goods to Nassau for the Confederate market.

"To regard Mad.
